Description Poem: Strange Stones
They told her of the lost Strange Stones.
Anonymously carved in the forests.
Masked with smoothened and strange bones.
Completely starved of all tourists.

They told her in each, there dwells a spirit
In each, black and white like coals.
They tried and tried to teach her to fear it
The stones with lack-of-flight souls.

They did not see the need to say were she to go South
If ever she were to be turned
The only way she’d be freed from that touthy mouth
Was when the key out was earned.

Poem "Strange Stones" (c) Me

Disclaimer:
No girls were harmed in the making of this painting.

Gushing:
HUWAAAAAH! I have only been doing this for two days. In total, I have worked on this approximately for 12 hours. Probably more though! Perhaps 14 hours!

WOOOOH, SO HAPPEH.

Idea:
Okay, this idea popped into my head in the car for NO reason whatsoever. I have no idea how it happened, but it did! As soon as I got home, I went straight to the computer to sketch it out because I just loved it.
When I thought of it, I laughed out loud. Yes, I literally LOL'D -derp-
I found it as a very comical idea, and it is if you think in a sort of twisted way! But it also be the curious and macabre piece it looks like. Depends on what you think.

Series?:
Somehow I seem to have a little unintentional series going on... Or perhaps it's just becoming a short-life "signature"-thing for me XD
Okay... The last actual-background paintings I've done recently. Notice anything similar about them?
- This one.

Here are the similarities...
1. A person.
2. Obvious light source.
3. Trees in the foreground, framing the picture.
Aaaaand...
4. COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS OOONLY!

I just noticed that today? Ain't it weird?
Here's a bit of info on why, for each...
1. I need to continue working on people.
2. I'm not that good with shading that much anymore! Because the shading doesn't make sense! THEREFORE, I must make an obvious one that I can follow.
3. I don't know why I seem to like framing my pictures with something... Other people have told me they like it because it's like they're looking in on a scene.
4. I. SUCK. WITH. COLOURS! If you noticed, most of the big coloured pieces I've done before, all had a pallet that was based off of one colour. Now, I want to do more than that... But I'm just not talented with colour. Therefore, I sort of cheat and just go with complementary colours! XD 'Cause I know that they'll go together.



P.S. - Curiosity killed the...

She almost looks like Chell from Portal, with the orange. The colors and shading are really good, don't worry about it! Especially the mask, her clothes and the outlining. Great job!

I love this. It's just that side of morbid, while still being mythical and to be honest, really really beautiful.
